Central Library

Join us on Saturday for our Cruinniú na nÓg event.

Dream On invites children into a world where books burst into life, music reshapes the ordinary, and imagination takes centre stage.

In this playful 15‑minute performance, a circus artist and a violinist transform a quiet library into a realm of juggling books, balancing acts, and musical mischief. What begins as a student’s struggle with information overload becomes a joyful reminder that curiosity can open unexpected doors.

Following the show, children aged 8–12 can dive into a hands‑on workshop blending movement, rhythm, and introductory circus skills.

Limited spaces, booking is essential

Listening to writer Jackie Lynam's story of finding her creative voice in her forties and publishing her first book just shy of 50 was truly inspirational. Thanks Jackie for sharing practical writing tips and advice. And showing that commitment, being open to opportunities and connections, can lead to "pinch me moments".

Check out some books that resonated with Jackie on her creative journey.

Children from Hill Street Family Resource Centre had great fun at our Early Numeracy Week Workshop yesterday with Clair & John.

They learned all about money - what it is & how to use it.

The Early Numeracy Project aims to improve children's early numeracy outcomes in Dublin’s Docklands and East Inner City area.

The project supports early childhood care and education settings and schools to plan and support children’s mathematical learning through play-based activities.
